2. National Parliaments opinions	
There are two main ways in which national parliaments and the Commission cooperate:	
(1).the subsidiarity control mechanism allows national parliaments to assess whether new legislative proposals comply with the principle of subsidiarity	
(2).political dialogue, which is the exchange of information and opinions on policy issues, legislative and non-legislative initiatives
